I would totally love to hear what these girls- middle-aged women now- think about their childhood encounter with the King of Pop today.

Perhaps not a vigil... They are at Grauman's Chinese Theater, that's obvious. Perhaps just gathered around his hand prints, but I'm pretty sure that his star on the Walk of Fame is over there. Prime real estate for the King of Pop. I don't think they're actors, I think they are tourists. Worse yet.

>> ^westy:
If you cried At his death then you are seriously imbalanced person.


You are wrong, westy.

Few are the men whose voices are heard.

Fewer still the wise ones, and not the opportunists.

I like you, westy. I like truth.

George Carlin was true.

But you were right about the image thing:

So the man dies,
The image lasts.

In my 34 years on the planet, Clinton has been the only 'fiscal conservative' in the oval office, and the Republican mantra of 'smaller government, fiscal responsibility and personal responsibility' has been nothing more than hollow propaganda.

It is a testament to the skill of Republican propagandists that the phrase 'fiscal conservative' even exists, because it's mythology. It's kind of like Howard Stern calling himself the King of All Media, or Michael Jackson calling himself the King of Pop; it isn't true, but if you say it enough times people will start to believe it. Go ahead and see how many Republicans you can list that actually live up to the rhetoric. Ron Paul is the only Republican on my list.

Same goes for 'smaller government'. Establishment Republicans are only interested in reducing the parts of the government that serve the public, such as education, social security, health, welfare, etc. When is the last time you heard a Republican say "Maybe we don't need another gazillion dollar stealth bomber, we already own more than we know what to do with. Our schools are understaffed and falling apart, maybe the money would be better spent there."? Answer: Never, that would be way too fiscally responsible.

Same goes for personal responsibility. It always cracks me up to see Republicans talk about personal responsibility as they vote themselves another raise. They don't believe in public health care, yet have the most generous publicly funded health care benefits on the planet.

Personal responsibility for the working class only! = Personal responsibility.

Establishment Republicans are afraid of Ron Paul precisely because he actually intends to put these hollow slogans into action, which is a delicious irony.

Establishment Democrats had a similar fear of Howard Dean, who has since infiltrated that establishment, and is now working to change it from the inside. Maybe Ron Paul can do the same.

Imagine what we could accomplish if Democrats and Republicans worked together. We both face an enemy far more dangerous that Osama bin Laden, and that enemy are the corporatist/neo-conservative/neo-liberal carpetbaggers who have corrupted every level of our publicly elected government. Let's take it back.

Telling you right now, you can set your clock to the Apocalypse by shit like this......M.C. Hammer used to be king of pop for a couple of years, in some alternative universe, innit???

Say what you will about michael, but there was a time when he was the "THE KING OF POP"
